Headspace - meditation

I've been using this app everyday, sometimes with an SOS too, for over 3 months and has changed my health: physically and mentally. I've lowered my blood pressure and revert to the techniques when under extreme stress. I often go to sleep with it. I've passed it on to several friends. It's been an eye opener. Thank you. I'm glad my daughter told me about it.

I have practiced before but this gives me a much better direction than on my own. I wish after 10 I didn't have to pay for more as I have gained such a better understanding of what and how to get in to the zone of setting my mind free. I feel I am ready for longer sessions already. I just can't afford to pay for this and hope these basics make it possible to practice in a better way on my own. Thank you. I feel relaxed and refreshed after these sessions.

I love this app! I don't use it as often as I should, but when I do, I feel deeply relaxed. I tend to suffer from anxiety and it's gotten worse now that I'm menopausal. Since using this app I panic a lot less at work (I'm a batista at a buisy coffee bar) and perform better. The excercise for sleep has been a tremendous help; my body feels so heavy, it's as if I'm stuck to the mattress with velcro, and I have a deep, restful sleep. I highly recommend this app.

I find this app so useful having going through an anxious/depressed phase it has really put life in perspective. Makes me appreciate the little things becoming more mindful which I never thought it would do - just wanted to relax at first! Amazing what ten minutes everyday over time can do.

I've been using Headspace for around 18 months, and it's been a massive help with my anxiety. The app is beautifully designed and the sessions really well structured. My only suggestion would be they work on updating with new content more frequently. How about a new pack every month?

Such an effective meditation tool. I have tried to just sit and meditate in the past, but I struggled and I find a lot of guided meditations too distracting. Headspace does an incredible job of providing some structure while teaching you the skills to meditate on your own. Absolutely love it!

Extremely helpful, let alone the voice is very soothing to listen to. For someone who has severe anxiety issues, I would and have been highly recommending this app/program to others. Even if they don't have anxiety issues, it really helps calm and center the mind.

I never thought much about meditation before - didn't think it was for me. Now I realize it's completely FOR ME. This app makes learning easy and convenient and his voice is so relaxing as he guides you through each session. So glad someone recommended it.

This is strictly reviewing the free portion of the app. A great app to remind me that I need to take some time everyday for myself. The app has closed without notifying me during a meditation session and it crashed when I was first starting my sessions on the first animation on a fully patched and supported Nexus device. For those two reasons I cannot commit to using the app any longer.

There is such diversity in meditation, yet this has really helped me find my inner voice. I've tried counting many times and always have to start over because I would wander off. Headspace has helped me realize that is ok while I'm finding my rhythm. My anxiety is down after only one week. I'm going to let my toddler in on it. Toddlers are learning about emotions and feelings. I only with I had this at that age. Thank you! Revolutionary

I love this app. I am new to meditation and currently in the take 10 program. I'm only on Day 5 and it's helped me over come so much stress in my life. I used to think that mediation was a daunting process, but this app makes it so easy and convenient!

Brilliant app has made a noticeable difference in my life. Stuck with it and routinely completed a meditation every morning for a couple of months. Early on saw improvement in my ability to handle stressful situations and overall became more relaxed and happier! Love this app and definitely recommend.

I reduced my 5 star review to 4. For the act of meditation, this app is great, and I recommend it to and for everyone. It's revolutionized my life. Full stop. That being said, there is currently a bug in which it constantly loses my stats until I log out and back in, which deletes all queued sessions I downloaded. This caused me to lose a run streak. Support reinstated my run streak quickly, but I lost some completed sessions. I'm sure they would reinstate those too, but I don't want to be a high maintenance customer. The issue is that I'm dealing with this bug every single day and session. It's frustrating and I can't wait for the update that will fix it (and I'll restore the five stars at that time). Again, its worth the inconvenience. Andy and his team are amazing. Meditation is amazing. I can not even begin to quantify the tangible and intangible improvements to my life, mindset, and relationships.

Wow. I had no idea mediation could be so helpful. I kept forgetting to do it but once I set a specific time (first thing in the morning) and left my iPad in a place to remind me, my whole attitude started you change. This is really terrific and thanks. No bugs or glitches on any device I use.

I have been using Headspace for about a year and a half now, and still love it. The app is beautifully designed, and the cost is fair if you use it every day (in my opinion). If you are looking to have meditation in your life you'd be hard pressed to find a better experience.

Headspace has changed my life. I am so thankful that I found it. It's helped with anxiety, sleeping, everything. In the middle of an anxiety attack I can just pop in my headphones and emerge a different person with a calm perspective. I love the focused series and I use the singles all the time too. I even use the kids meditations with my third grade class. Totally worth the money.

This app is a scam. The app is free, but almost everything in the app has to be accessed through a subscription. I'll stick with my other meditation app which gives a plethora of choices and doesn't require a subscription to access all the meditations they furnish.

I've been using headspace for the past two years. As a broke college student, it's been a bit of a monetary investment for sure. As a individual who struggles with anxiety, though, it has been an extraordinarily benificial investment. I love to tell people about the progress I've made in my life because of this app, and I hope everyone has something of this nature in their life that helps them deal with their busy lives and minds.

The audio book, this app and Andy are awesome and has made tremendous impact on my life. For the last few days however the app has not been able to open/run at all. Crashing every time I try. I trust them to fix this ASAP or issue refunds

Absolutely brilliant! Headspace has significantly helped me deal with my anxiety and insomnia in the past several days than months of medications and therapy. Very relaxing and quite effortless. I wish I would have discovered this sooner.

Greedy. Pay $18 for a particular type of meditation that is no different from the free trial. I cancel to make sure I don't lose more money and they wipe away the days I have already paid for. Another greedy company promising to give you something in return for your money but no.

Headspace is a really-well designed app with a great purpose. I'm unsure whether or not I'll be a long-time user of the app, but I've been using it throughout its Take 10 series and have really gotten hooked.

This app is changing my life. I am in constant nerve pain and I'm taking hard medications. I have never relaxed as much as I have for 4 days for 10 minutes. Give this a try it can't hurt it might change your life to.

Been using the app for nearly 2 years now and its really helped me change my mindset. I'd love to be better notified when a new pack is added to the app but apart from that I'm really happy with it. Andy's soothing voice really brings calm to my otherwise busy days.

It's an amazing app that made me subscribe right after 2 sessions. Especially for students going through their stressful final exams, this helps relax and let go of the stress.

Its such a big help. Someone with ptsd like myself this helps me control my thoughts and prevent any harm i may cause myself. Thank you so much

It's great. Smashing way to get going. No bugs. If you're gonna give 1* because technology has some glitches you need to chill. Unintelligible and re install etc.... BREATHE

Love the guy's voice. Personal. Calm. Articulate. Not fond of the subscription. It's quite expensive and the progress saving is bugged. I do a take 10 and i have to repeat it again and fast forward to proceed to the next level. I am disabled and on a low and fixed income. I suffer from chornic pain, anxiety, and depression. The meditations help but I can't afford the pricey subscription.

I have horrible anxiety along with not being able to let my body relax. This app really helps me. This is an actual comment from an actual user of the app. No other app has helped me like this one has. Im learning to allow myself to breath and just live. Also helps with patience as I have 3 kids. :)

100% has materially changed my life. Not sure I could find a better bang for my buck. Stop letting the weak thoughts win, buy the annual subscription NOW.

I've been using this app for a few days and it has made such a drastic difference to my focus & mood. I've been more relaxed, less anxious and more productive than I have been in a long time. I actually look forward to using it. Absolutely love it!

Amazing app. I usually struggle to commit to things like this, but 10 mins a night is barely any time, and the walk through is so gradual and natural. It builds you up and helps you do it yourself. Best app I've seen in a long time, and I will be buying from them in the future. They deserve every penny for this app, and it's really the cost of a soda or a burger or whatever for a mentality and balance and strong positive neural pathways that will last you a lot longer than any immediate gratification you could spend your money on right now.

Always thought meditation was a little silly and really not for me but I actually really enjoy it thanks to these guided meditations. I feel much more calm and relaxed. The guidance is a great way to learn a useful skill

EDIT: Buggy app. Hangs after every meditation session. Emailed support 4 days ago, haven't heard back. Do not recommend for Android phones. Great but ironic. Meditation/Buddhism can free us of attatchments. But this is a subscription-based business model. To survive, they do an excellent job of gamifying the experience and making us attached to the app ;)

I have been meditating for years and really struggled to get any benefit from it for the last few years. Headspace has really helped me to get back to what its all really about and the benefit has been really profound. Ive got the calmness and easiness back ive been missing for the last 8 or 9 years. I've noticed a greater patience through doing this as well. Patience has often escaped me when I couldnt have done with it the most. Im still on the take 10 free part and exercising some of that patience, once done i'll move onto the subscription.

Love the app so I purchased for annual membership.Andy speaking is calm and easy to understanding. His method is practical and make senses. I would love to see if the app may have a compassion meditation in the future. But sometimes I got a problem which is date counting.For example, I listened to day 19 already but next day the day 19 session still repeated once again instead of moving forward to day 20.

I have ptsd, and my mind is always racing , but with this app I actually am able to relax. I don't know if it's his voice or how easy he makes it but it works for me and I didn't think that I would ever be able to meditate. Your brain is like every other muscle in your body, you have to exercise it and actually do these medications everyday. If you do you'll definitely feel more relaxed. Best choice I made to download this

I heard about this from watching Ellen and thought I would try it. I have been told meditation works. I do it right before bed and I feel very relaxed. And like Ellen says it really does sound like the geico lizard is talking you through mediation. It's not always easy but everyone should give mediation and this app a chance.

At 62, I have long contended with the impact of ADHD and the concomitant tag alongs - stress, anxiety, depression. Headspace offers an approach to meditation that starts in 10 minute increments and makes entry into the practice straight forward and free of the typical Eastern format usually associated with the discipline. 100 days update - calmly, gently, smoothly changing my life for better.

I've been dealing with grief not only because of a death in the family but also from a broken relationship. This really helps me calm down and take a moment for myself, and then afterwards I'm able to think clearly what I can do to make things go smoothly in my own life. I haven't subscribed yet but I definitely will after the 10 days. This is a must for my life.
